On July 30, the Brookhaven community thanked Renaissance Technologies for their generosity in supporting research by re-dedicating two Laboratory roads, now known as Renaissance Road and Renaissance Circle. As part of the event, Brookhaven Lab employees, students, and guests held a “Collide-the-Ions” walk to benefit autism research.
A quick Q&A with Astrid Morreale, a RHIC postdoc at Brookhaven Lab who looks at small electrically charged particles called pions, which emerge from smashing two polarized proton beams together.
RHIC research has captured worldwide attention with an astonishing surprise: instead of behaving like a gas, the matter created in RHIC’s energetic gold-gold collisions appears to be more like a "perfect" liquid with virtually no resistance to flow. More...
Four detectors -- STAR, PHENIX, PHOBOS, and BRAHMS -- help physicists analyze RHIC particle collisions. These detectors electronically record the results of collisions, seeking insight into what happens when quarks are liberated from their atomic nuclei.
Operated by Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics.
